B. Michell is a comprehensive guide on the sport of falconry, written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the rich history, the various types of birds used, and the practical techniques involved in training and flying hawks. Michell aims to educate readers on not only the methods of hawking but also the cultural significance it has held over the centuries, particularly among the aristocracy. The opening of the book introduces the topic of falconry and underscores the common misunderstandings surrounding the art, emphasizing its historical roots and the author's extensive experience in the field. Michell notes the growing curiosity and interest in hawking among sportsmen, while acknowledging the difficulties faced by modern falconers. He outlines his intention to provide a clear and concise description of the art, avoiding overly technical language, to engage both newcomers and experienced enthusiasts in the world of falconry.
